Pros

The pay is decent, wish i had more to add here. Most of the pros of my job have gone down the drain in the last two years.

Cons

In the last couple years in our group they have hired 5 new managers for every 1 technician. Management now leads through intimidation and scare tactics. No responsibility taken by management over their poor decision making. Employees are never given a chance to provide input regardless on how little management understands or how much expertise the employee has. Extremely unrealistic expectations set by managers with zero guidance on how it would actually be achieved. There is no investment in employees. Zero training is provided and retaining talented employees is not their priority.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
